Ahmet Erdi Öztürk is Reader in Politics and International Relations at London Metropolitan University. His research focuses on Turkish politics and foreign policy, religion and global politics, authoritarianism, nationalism, migration, and the politics of the Middle East, Europe and the Balkans. He has published widely on contemporary Turkey, religion and politics, and Turkish foreign policy, and is co-editor of the Edinburgh Studies on Modern Turkey series at Edinburgh University Press. Bahar Baser is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern Politics at Durham University. Previously, she was an associate professor and research group leader at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations of Coventry University. She is also an associate research fellow at the Security Institute for Governance and Leadership in Africa (SIGLA), Stellenbosch University, South Africa. She completed a PhD in Social and Political Science at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. During her PhD, she had the opportunity to work as a Visiting Research Fellow at Humboldt University in Germany, at Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society (REMESO) at Linköping University in Sweden, and the Instituto de Ciencias Sociais (ICS) in Lisbon, Portugal. Dr. Baser’s research interests include ethno-national conflicts and political violence, conflict resolution, third party mediation, migration and diaspora studies. Bahar has various publications in peer-reviewed academic journals and she has published a book in Turkey entitled: The Turkish-Kurdish Question in the Diaspora: Second-generation in Sweden and Germany. Her book Diasporas and Homeland Conflicts: A Comparative Perspective was published by Routledge in 2015. She has published four co-edited volumes by different publishers and she has penned more than 30 articles that are published in prestigious journals such as Ethnicities, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Third World Quarterly, Civil Wars and Ethnopolitics among others. Her research has been funded by the British Academy, CBRL, the Swedish Institute, the Italian Foreign Ministry, Coventry University and the Newton Fund-National Research Foundation (South Africa). She has written policy reports for Berghof Peace Foundation, TUSIAD Foreign Policy Forum and the Heinrich Boll Foundation.

This book is a very timely contribution, consisting of impressive and intimate interviews with critical names of the Turkish diaspora. Ahmet Erdi Öztürk and Bahar Baser do an excellent job of capturing emotions in these sensitive conversations that make the reader laugh and cry. I wish there were more books like this – direct, personal testimonies of intellectuals who are living in exile. This is truly a stellar collection.
